Why whats up there! Joyful 2023! It’s been some time, hasn’t it? However one factor I’d like to be higher at this 12 months is running a blog. Name me old-fashioned, however I find it irresistible. It’s simply such a terrific centralised hub for ALL THE CONTENT. Plus, from a purely egocentric side it’s like a web based diary that handily permits me to search out the protein pancake recipe that I used to make all the time again in 2015. So right here’s to running a blog extra this 12 months! The posts could be just a little snappier, and so they’ll greater than seemingly be little much less heavy on the picture-front, however hopefully they’ll be extra of them. So preserve a watch spherical right here for lists, mind dumps and simply useful assets and round-ups. First, up my 2023 each day habits…
By way of resolutions I’ve saved it easy this 12 months. I believed I’d give the entire ‘12 Week 12 months‘ factor a go; an thought during which you break up the 12 months down in quarters and set your objectives for the 12 weeks forward solely. They could mount as much as a giant change all through the entire 12 months, however at that one time limit you’re simply centered on the instant steps forward. Easy, proper? My first objective – begin a craft as a interest (therefore the crochet hook – I’ve knitted three squares to this point), and full a easy mission earlier than the tip of March. My second objective – journey extra, which for the subsequent 12 weeks has damaged down into the steps of kind out Ralph with a passport and e book a summer season vacation for us all. My third objective? Full a tough reset for January. For me meaning finishing all my each day habits on a regular basis for the primary month of the 12 months. Up to now, so good and in doing so I hope to determine some habits that I start to do with out even pondering about them. This woman wanted a kick up the rear to do some easy steps which in the end go away me feeling actually good, sleeping higher and total simply being a happier me. Every is famous in a behavior monitoring desk on my Notion (as a result of you already know I simply LOVE THAT STUFF), and as I do them every day I tick them off. Right here’s how I’m making them very easy for me to finish…
HABIT #1 – Journal. In direction of the tip of final 12 months I began the 5 Minute Journal* and are you aware what? It’s fab. I really feel prefer it actually places me in a great temper for the day forward. I’ve now transferred this right into a template into my Notion that I begin afresh on a regular basis as a result of doing it digitally means I can do it on my cellphone in mattress with out waking anybody up within the morning!
HABIT #2 – Each day dietary supplements. It is a easy one, however having a small baby through the winter months is an endurance take a look at of your immune system – let me inform you! I’ve purchased myself a Tablet Field* that I refill weekly so I by no means miss a dose. Plus I preserve it in my skincare drawer so I be certain that I see it each morning and each night.
HABIT #3 – Eat complete meals. Blah, blah, a cliche I do know, however I used to be simply so sick of consuming a big bag of crisps for lunch as a result of there was no different meals to eat in the home. The irony is that I LOVE feeding the little man scrumptious meals, however I used to be not prioritising myself. So the plan right here is 2 fold. Firstly, pushing meals outlets up the precedence listing and ensuring they’re stuffed with substances that may maintain us ALL, all day lengthy. And secondly, I’ve created a meal concepts template in Notion so every time I’m feeling a bit uninspired, it’s simple for me to search out issues that I need to eat and are fast to prepare dinner.
HABIT #4 – Motion. Ahhh once more, you’ve obtained me. I’m a strolling, speaking new years cliche BUT I felt myself slowing moving into the swing of each day motion in direction of the tip of final 12 months and I’d love for it to be one thing I simply do. Mark and I’ve booked in our favorite Pilates Trainer to come back to the home weekly – so no excuses there! And I’m giving some completely different exercises a go, so hopefully my week will include spinning, pilates and strolling with a little bit of power coaching thrown in too – just like the previous days! I used to write down my weekly schedule down on paper, however I now schedule it in Notion which provides me a bit extra flexibility in the case of transferring issues round and retaining monitor. I simply really feel a lot clearer in my thoughts and sleep so significantly better after I’ve moved my physique. Boring, however true.
HABIT #5 – Magnificence self-care. This a pleasant one. I actually needed to have a each day behavior that was all for me. A method to carve out a while of each single day for myself, which I personally simply discover so, so crucial to my psychological well being. So whether or not it’s a pleasant lengthy bathtub, 10 minutes with a LED Masks*, just a little Gua Sha* routine, a full physique faux tan – not solely do this stuff make me really feel nice bodily, they assist me mentally too. If ever I’m feeling a bit uninspired, I’ve made a listing of issues in my – yep you’ve guessed it – Notion.
HABIT #6 – Whering app. It’s a easy one, however I misplaced my approach with digitally diarising my wardrobe through the months of November and December and I’d like to do it for a complete 12 months only for the analytics alone as a result of I’m a NERD. So I’ve up to date the app with any newer purchases I’ve made and often log my outfit for the day while I’m brushing my tooth within the night. This an actual simple one to tick off.
